Vida Bars are actual shampoo, just in solid form. If you've had issues with bars before, they were likely saponified oils, so basically soap that were mistakenly called shampoo. Our bars have been tested throughout the US, even by people who have well water and they had great results with no buildup or waxy feel, just clean and conditioned hair.
All of our bars are Curly Girl Method friendly. Not just that, they’re actually formulated for curls. Sulfate free, silicone free and just as important, plastic free. We want healthy hair and a clean planet!
None of our bars contain coconut oil. However, all the shampoos contain surfactants derived from coconut. Most surfactants in any shampoo contain these. The process they go through completely changes their properties and they are nothing like coconut oil.
